Buying a ticket to a headliner concert at the Indiana State Fair no longer includes free admission to the Fair itself, as per a new policy kicking in this season. Concertgoers will be expected to pay an additional $12 ($8 in advance) for a general admission Fair ticket on top of the $30-$60 concert price.

Patrons cannot attend a State Fair concert without buying a ticket to the Fair. But they can now buy alcohol during concerts.

All of the above will be seen and heard in the renovated Indiana Farmers Coliseum.
